Index-Journal, Greenwood, LBJ Appears To Be Stacking Up Political I.O.U.'s That May Be Difficult To Pay Off By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson appears to be stacking up some political 1.0.U. that may be difficult to pay off in his determination to get congressional approval of an Appalachian aid program. Before the Senate passed the measure Monday, the President got notice that just about every region in the country has unemployment and poverty problems about which it wants the federal government to do something. In order to smooth passage of the measure and its dispatch the House for action there, Johnson had to give some assurances through Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield that similar regional plans will get his consideration. Mansfield indicated that any presidential action may be in the form of a request for an expansion of the area redevelopment program.
Congress last year refused additional funds for it because of dissatisfaction over its administration. Even if he asks for additional money, Johnson is going to be In Around and Greenwood Attending Conference Greenwood will be repre-! sented by at least five persons at the Governor's Conference on Mental Health today and tomorrow in Columbia.

City GOP (Continued from Page 1) and raising 110 per cent of the assigned financial quota we proved that we, want to run our own affairs." He said that over half the total vote, almost 70 per cent, came from the precincts of the city of Greenwood and surrounding mill precincts.
Three of the six city precincts voted Republican, Nave said. "It seems to me," Nave said in the speech, "that all of those people who have said or thought that we ought to have twoparty system in Greenwood and should now be extremely happy, should agree with me that 3,764 people who voted Republican in November, 1964, should have representation in city government in 1965." Noting that "the Democratic Party considers the vote in the last Democratic Primary to constitute the number of Democrats for each ward," Nave posed this question: "Isn't it then within reason to assume that in this upcoming election that a Republican Primary should be held for the 3,764 people who could be considered as members of the Republican Party?"
